Who we are
We were founded in June 2003, as a private owned company, by taking over the “Grinding machine” plant from the “Livnica Kikinda” holding.
The first beginnings were in 1908, when Mr. Michael Bohn founded “Foundry and Machinery Factory”, i.e. 2 decades after the World War II, when the government company “Livnica Kikinda” started the production of grinding machines by purchasing licenses from the German “Fortuna Werke” and the American “Bryant”.
Over the past 50 years, we have continued to improve the knowledge and experience gained in the machine tool industry.
